In this paper, a method to find the maximum power transfer conditions in bimorph piezoelectric-based harvesters is proposed. Explicitly, we derive a closed form expression that relates the load… (More)

Design criteria for tunable matching networks (TMN) are given with emphasis on the MEMS technology in the FM band. An important result is obtained proving that minimal number of components is needed… (More)

In this paper, two high-voltage charge pumps (CPs) are introduced. In order to minimize the area of the pumping capacitors, which dominates the overall area of the CP, high-density capacitors have… (More)

This paper shares with the research community how to achieve, effectively and easily, lateral submicron separations in the standard 2 lm PolyMUMPS process without any fabrication intervention or… (More)
